St. Agrestis
The St. Agrestis story starts well before our first bottle was produced. As the sons of an Italian immigrant father and first-generation Italian-American mother from Brooklyn, brothers Louis & Matt Catizone’s lives have always been consumed by fine Italian food, beverage and family. Growing up in North New Jersey, their school lunches didn’t have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crust cut off and a can of cola, but instead soppressatta on Nonnina’s freshly baked pane with a small bitter Italian soda. Their first sip of amaro was from the Sunday dinner table, well before the digestivo gained the popularity it has today and at least a decade before they were of age to do so. It’s these influences that drove the brothers to team up alongside long-time friend and spirits industry leader Steven DeAngelo to bring St. Agrestis to Greenpoint, Brooklyn. From being the first to produce Amaro in New York City to developing the globally renowned non-alcoholic Phony Negroni®, St. Agrestis is a team of passion-driven disruptors reinventing ancient drinks through innovation.
